Recycling Service Expanded
06-08-2010
Waste Management has expanded curbside recycling service to include plastic coated carton packaging, such as milk cartons, juice boxes, and cartons of soup and broth. The experimental program includes customers in Golden Valley, Plymouth, Minnetonka, Hopkins, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and New Hope.
To recycle these new materials, rinse the cartons and remove twist caps before placing in your recycling bin.
Waste Management chose to expand service after successful completion of a 2009 national campaign and pilot program with the National Carton Council and Tropicana. Waste Management secured a local end market for the material that will allow a longer “soak” time, resulting in separation of plastic from the carton.
